I am trying to provision spot instance using Ansible 2.8. When i run my playbook, i encountered the following error. "instance_initiated_shutdown_behavior=stop is not supported for spot instances."
However, the strange thing is that in my playbook, i did not specify anything to stop the spot instances.
Does anyone have any idea what might have caused the error?
$ ansible-playbook test.yml
[WARNING]: provided hosts list is empty, only localhost is available. Note that the implicit localhost does not match 'all'
PLAY [Create an ec2 instance] ************************************************** TASK [Create an ec2 instance] ************************************************** fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "msg": "instance_initiated_shutdown_behavior=stop is not supported for spot instances."} PLAY RECAP ********************************************************************* localhost : ok=0 changed=0 unreachable=0 failed=1 skipped=0 rescued=0 ignored=0
Below is a portion of the yaml file that I executed.
tasks:
- name: Create an ec2 instance
ec2:
spot_price: '0.24'
spot_wait_timeout: 600
aws_access_key: "{{ access_key }}"
aws_secret_key: "{{ secret_key }}"
region: "{{ region }}"
keypair: "{{ keypair }}"
group_id: "{{ group_id}}"
instance_type: "{{ instance_type }}"
image: "{{ ami }}"
wait: yes
vpc_subnet_id: "{{ subnet_id }}"
assign_public_ip: yes
spot_launch_group: report_generators
